In a heartwarming display of family support, the mothers of Hollywood power couple Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have publicly connected, delighting followers and fuelling speculation about the pair's future.
Award Night Glory and a Proud Mother's Post
The catalyst for this celebrity matriarch interaction was Timothée Chalamet's significant win at the 31st Critics Choice Awards on January 5. The actor was named Best Actor for his leading role in Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, triumphing over notable contenders including Leonardo DiCaprio.
Chalamet's mother, actress Nicole Flender, took to Instagram to share her pride. Resharing the moment Kate Hudson announced his name at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar, Flender wrote: 'My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!'
The 'Mother-in-Law' Connection That Captivated Fans
The post was swiftly liked by Chalamet's girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who attended the ceremony with him. However, it was a comment from Kris Jenner that truly set social media alight. The renowned TV personality and matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan responded to Flender's post with an enthusiastic: 'So exciting!!!!!!!'
This simple exchange sparked a flurry of excitement among followers. One fan succinctly captured the sentiment, commenting: 'the mother in laws are besties.' The interaction marks a rare public acknowledgment between the two families, who have largely kept their connection private.
A Rare Public Declaration of Support
During his acceptance speech, after thanking his team and director, Chalamet turned his attention to his partner of three years. He said: 'And lastly, I'll just say, thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you.'
Seated in the audience, Jenner was visibly moved, mouthing 'I love you, too' in response. This moment of public affection was followed by another subtle online gesture. Earlier in the month, after the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Jenner shared photos of her Marty Supreme-inspired orange sequined gown on Instagram.
Chalamet responded by 'liking' the post and leaving a trail of orange heart emojis in the comments. This marked the first time the notoriously private couple had publicly commented on each other's social media accounts, a significant shift from their previous policy of only exchanging discreet likes.
While wedding bells may not be ringing just yet, the bonding of Kris Jenner and Nicole Flender, coupled with the couple's increasingly visible mutual support, suggests a deepening and more publicly acknowledged relationship between two of entertainment's most watched figures.
